2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure no parts are left inside the drum. Keep packaging materials away from children.

- Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed and not kinked.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the appliance (230 Volts).
